At Miller & Carter we know a thing or two about steak. In fact, we could say that we're one of the best steakhouses in Mirfield. But we'd rather leave that to your judgement. Because once you've tasted our hand-cut, 30-day aged British & Irish steaks you'll soon appreciate the care of our farmers, the exacting standards of our butchers and the passion of our chefs. Don't just take our word for it; book a table and decide for yourself. You’ll find our restaurant conveniently situated just off of the edge of the village of Mirfield just off junction 25 of the M62.

Theatre Royal Wakefield is one of the smallest remaining Matcham theatre auditoriums; it is a shining example of his work and demonstrates his incredible ability to deliver a beautiful theatrical environment within a very tight space. Matcham made what were ground-breaking changes, as he dispensed with the idea of public boxes flanking the Theatre stage and utilised the concept of boxes at the rear of the dress circle seating area.

Sightseeing

Sandal Castle is a ruined medieval castle in Sandal Magna, a suburb of the city of Wakefield in West Yorkshire, England, overlooking the River Calder. It was the site of royal intrigue and the setting for a scene in one of William Shakespeare's plays. Shakespeare's play Henry VI, Part 3 (Act 1, Scene 2) is set in Sandal Castle. It describes Richard's sons urging him to take the crown before news is brought of Margaret's approach. Act 1, scene 4 then depicts the death of Richard at the Queen's hands. This brief fictionalised account bears little resemblance to the history as we understand it today. The play is sometimes performed on the castle ruins.

Shopping

Victoria Quarter is one half of Victoria Leeds; a beautiful shopping district recognised as the premium shopping area in the North of England. Victoria Quarter was originally designed by architect Frank Matcham. He used rich marbles, gilded mosaics, handsome cast and wrought iron, as well as carved and polished mahogany, to create two streets, two arcades and the Empire Theatre (now Harvey Nichols). Today Matcham's work has been sympathetically restored to its original splendour, introducing the style and creativity of the present.
